What i'm getting at is that even just one land owners setting up an agressive security system in a given region creates a deterrent to visit the entire region, regardless of how the OTHER land owners in the region feel about visitors. If those areas where clearly visible (a clearly defined skybox, some kind of structure that makes it visually clear that this area is off limit) people could navigate around them, respecting the land owner's rights. Instead , we have invisible minefields that cannot be detected and generally extend as far as possible (because a buffer zone always has to be cranked up to 11). You would think that people using orbs would want others to know that there is an orb there so that it can be avoided. Frankly considering the despicable behaviors i've seen with people putting orbs near airfields boundaries or public venues and the impossibility to at least come to a "good neighbor" etiquette, i'm suspecting that part of the reason some land owners want things to stay this way is because of the leverage it gives them on what goes on in the region they rent in, beyond the boundaries of their parcel.

You just don't get that you are not allowed to use someone else's land if they don't want you to. If i owned a lot on a sim and used ban lines and a security orb to protect it from the land all the way up to the top of the sky, I am not detrring anyone from using THEIR land as they see fit, only my land. Re-read what i wrote, at no point am i saying that anyone should be allowed to use the land of people who do not want them to. All i'm saying is that you should make it obvious that you are using a security orb because we cannot foresee that you don't want anyone crossing your parcel until we get forcibly sent home by your security device.

You have a right to do whatever you want with the airspace over the land you rent, but how am i supposed to guess what you want? I have no interest in trespassing on your precious land, but what about the right for other landowners that do not wish to have such restrictions? because you're sharing the same region they shouldn't get to have their way so you can have yours? I disagree with those here that try to push the etiquette that "visitors are not allowed by default anywhere" is the rule one has to assume when traveling in SL and that you deserve to be caught in a security orb for not following this rule. Why not put an invisible hollow sphere around the place you wish to protect? so instead of getting sent home People will just bump into it and be on their merry way. Most people given the option will not insist, and if they do your orb can then send them home.

I am not debating wether you should have all reign on your land. The problem to me is that the current state of things, a handful of security orbs can act as a deterrent to visit the entire region because their boundaries are not clear and their delay too short to correct course. To take the analogy of the minefield, you don't need to cover every sqaure inch of the field in mines, you only need a few to deter anyone from crossing the entire field. It is your right to protect your land from intruders but it shouldn't act as an invisible deterrent to use the land of those that do not feel the same as you do. And that's why i think security orbs should be visible. Yes it will be ugly, but while i can use tools to read parcel settings and determinate wether i'm allowed in or not, a security orb doesn't give me any "warning, do not enter" It is a **bleep**ing trap waiting to be set off if you use them anywhere outside a building. Yes it prevent people to come in uninvited on your land, and also to any neighboring parcels that allow it.

I'm not gonna discuss the necessity of security devices, obviously people feel that they need it and it's their land. However not everyone share the idea of the "castle doctrine", there are many places on the mainland that are built with the idea of being welcoming to visitors. As it is right now, security orbs are like landmines, they are invisible until you dare walk/roll/glide into their area of influence and then (more than often) boot you home with little to no warning, they also act as a huge deterrent for further exploring of the mainland. You may not want visitors, and that's ok but it doesn't mean you should be discouraging anyone from exploring SL. So here are a few crazy ideas for security orb guidelines that i'll certainly be drawn and quartered for: Require a minimum warning delay to vacate the area. 10 seconds, from personal experience is too short especially if you have to do course correction, not every plane in sl is an F-22, not every wheeled vehicle is a performance car and most orb users assume delays that are only really feasible for avatars, when they are feasible at all. It's my opinion but if you can't stand the idea of someone encroaching your Secondlife for 30 seconds, you have issues.Require their sphere of influence to be visible or obvious. Inside of a house? obvious. Translucent "do not enter" dome? obvious. An open field is not.Replace llTeleportAgentHome() by llEjectFromLand() when used on the mainland.Something should be made to inform land owners that they have ban lines active on their land. Believe it or not, but a lot of people set them and forget them. My initial suggestion would be to make the ban lines show on their side too... but that would be confusing. Ideas?.The region should check if an user is on a physical/object not owned by the parcel owner/group before they get ejected/bounced, and if yes, move the object instead.

I understand why you guys want to change the rails to phantom... but please don't... rail grinding works fine if the track is properly made and as long as you stay away from sim crossings. Scripts can't have that level of reaction time. I've been banging my head on how to get my behemoth of a train to sit on the track (it has two bogies that represent the contact poitns with the track) without relying solely collisions with the center rail. I know most trains are short enough that their length isn't a factor, but with 18 meters between axles... it just looks and feel wrong.

Seems like the only train vehicles roaming the SLRR today are all non physical, i was wondering if anyone still made "proper" vehicle trains.

Knowing your online status doesn't enable stalking, it merely reenforce it and making the system lie about it won't stop a determined stalker. However it's going to break a lot of systems and make your SecondLife potentially unpleasant. Delivery systems rely on this information to know if it's safe to send items to you. Game systems use it to check if you potentially left the game. As LL implement those new game related features i could see a lot more systems doing online checks. There could be a ton of reasons to do an online check as a condition for accepting direct or indirect interaction from an avatar, down to a simple door. Hell some scripters might go on a vendetta against "ghost" avatars and simply deny them any script interactivity... You can already block said stalkers from IMing you and derender their avatar which equals making them vanish from existence, they have no way to request your exact position anywhere on the grid, so knowing whether you are online or not doesn't change anything,you can ban them from your land and make the avatars outside of it unable to see inside. Making the system lie on demand however render the programs depending from it unreliable at best.

Sounds like this is the anti builder update

"Bondage" is also not allowed, but i guess LL's employees didn't personally put their office's wallpaper in place or they would know how retarded it is to ban this word.

maid,uniform,domestic,servant,hotel What exactly is not pg in this? I'm not sure but i think it's because i mention the word "cuffs" in the description which is retarded.

The rating listing doesn't work properly stop tieing it to keywords LL are you stupid or something? this is an example of one of my products which is force flagged as mature. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/KDC-Classic-Housekeeping-uniform-black/1632631

The bottom line appears to be that LL sees a LOT of funds in many of the SL creators accounts and isn't really happy to think that, at some point, those creators will want to cash those funds out. Which means LL having to write them a check of very real money.
